4. πŸ“ˆ - Pacing strategy

Your pacing plan is customized according to 7 points:

πŸ₯‡Β Your level (finish time)

⛰️ Your positive and negative elevation gain (the GAP we talked about earlier)

πŸ› οΈΒ The technical nature of the race

🌬️ The wind (whether it's head-on or not)

🌑️ The temperature at each points along the route

⏱️ Your pacing strategy, in this case a slight negative split of -8%.

⏳ The natural drift at the end of the race, which depends on your index.

This will give you crossing points to respect at aid stations (you can also find a km-by-km plan on the next page)

πŸ”œ With the analysis of your races and training (with our Strava integration) we can even propose an ultra-tailor-made plan to go after marginal gains! => the pacing plan is given in the briefing !
